Labor Day weekend is fast approaching; you have been invited to a backyard pool party, and you were told to bring a simple appetizer to share. You are the only Celiac in the crowd and so you want to bring something that you will be able to eat but that will also appeal to everyone else. You are in luck! The following is a fool proof and ever popular appetizer recipe worth sharing:
Plain Cream Cheese (any brand, solid or whipped)
Raspberry Chipotle Sauce (any brand)
Mary's Gone Crackers (preferably Original)
Place cream cheese in a shallow bowl and allow to soften at room temperature, pour sauce over it, serve with crackers.
Three ingredients. What could be simpler? And so delicious...the sweet but spicy sauce cooled by the decadent cream cheese, the crunchy cracker that never gets soggy. Everyone will absolutely love this hors d oeuvre, they will enjoy being gluten free, and they will undoubtedly ask you for the recipe.
If you have not tried Mary's Gone Crackers before, it is a discovery you will want to share with family and friends after you do. You can serve them with the recipe above but also with any dip whatsoever, and along side deli meat and cheese trays. They are full of seeds, very crunchy and flavorful, and they come in 5 flavors: Original, Caraway, Herb, Black Pepper, and Onion. All are wheat-free, gluten-free, and organic, but mostly, they are just delicious--Celiacs and non-Celiacs will agree! They are readily available in the Twin Cities at Whole Foods, Lakewinds, and Byerlys where you might expect them to be, but they have also become so popular that they are even stocked on the shelves at Cub and Rainbow. Try them--you will not be disappointed!
Hope you had a happy Labor Day weekend!
